Answer

If b is greater than 1 it is an exponential growth If b is less than 1 it is an exponential decay

Work Step by Step

Use the exponential formula:y=a $\times$ $b^{x}$.B is the growth/decay factor. If b $\lt$ 1, then it is an exponential decay and b is the decay factor If b $\gt$ 1, then it is an exponential growth and B is the growth factor.
